Robert F. Kennedy Jr was nearly assassinated today.
Why has Joey Bribes denied him Secret Service protection?

It's pretty simple he does not currently quality and is running against an incumbent President. He needs to declare as an Independent ruffle some more feathers.
As for security he has raised plenty of money so good security is not something RFK should find it too difficult to provide for himself at this point.
Scary thought... Trump wins the Republican nomination but refuses to bring one of his competitors along as VP but chooses RFK as running mate looking increase his voter base. The more I think about it the more it sounds like a twisted but potentially big move for Trump Originally Posted by DNinja69
... AND for Robert Kennedy - because Trump may decide

The Secret Service website says that "major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election" are entitled to their protection, with the Secretary of Homeland Security determining who qualifies as "major."While that may be the technical standard, in practice Presidential Candidates polling like RFK Jr is have been provided secret service protection much more than 120 days in advance
He's not entitled nor is anyone to have protection 14 months out. Originally Posted by winn dixie

He hasn't raised nearly enough money to mount a legit campaign and is seen as an outsider.
Does not qualify. Period. Originally Posted by DNinja69

Taking the Kennedy’s past history with assassinations, Joey Bribes should have extended the courtesy. After all, they’re both Democrats. Or are they?
Barack Obama received Secret Service protection in May 2007 almost 2 years before the general election Originally Posted by berryberry
Nah bambino not even a lil bit. Trump was running for an open seat and considered the front-runner when he got approval in Nov 2015. This is Sept and the odds of RFK being the Dem nominee are about zero. But hey for those who seek to be mad at Biden for the sun shining during daylight hours feel free to continue the whine fest.
